Answer:
The phrase in this excerpt from Louisa May Alcott's <em>Little Women</em> that best illustrates a mocking tone is: "<em>In her own opinion at least</em>."
Explanation:
This line has a mocking tone because it is <u>ironic</u>; the speaker tells the reader how Amy is an important person, but adds that this is <u>proclaimed by herself</u>. Here the writer uses a mocking tone because <u>it is funny that she proclaims herself as "an important person"</u>. She is the youngest and still has a high self esteem and clearly believes a lot of herself, which, by the way, is a good thing; it means she loves herself and respects her existence, but it does sound funny coming from her own mouth.
